''The mastermind of a sophisticated plan to kidnap an international University of Toronto student for a $5-million ransom should have been deported in 2017 — but is now our long-term guest after a judge sentenced him to 20 years behind bars.''

''Zeyu Zang, 37, was the “chief architect, investor, paymaster and directing mind” of the plot to kidnap Wenbo Jin, 24, from his Grenville St. condo in January 2020 and hold him bound and blindfolded for 13 days in a rented Richmond Hill home while his father in China was told to wire bitcoin to secure his release, said Superior Court Justice Sean Dunphy.''
